I agree that this should be a separate bug, particularly since #344878
is not going to result in any changes.
In my experience, the ecryptfs-migrate-home script did not end
elegantly, but instead stopped with a report of rsync errors. The
encrypted directory was set up and worked, but that was not clear from
the script output, nor was there any easy way to tell which files were
not copied--or, in fact, that failure to copy long filenames was the
cause of the error. All I saw was a cryptic numerical rsync error that
"some files were not copied."
I would appreciate if the script were updated to better handle this
error condition, and give the end-user some indication of whether it
otherwise succeeded or failed. Alternately, it wouldn't hurt if there
were some indication (other than searching for bug reports) in the
instructions for the script that super-long filenames don't work in
encrypted mode.
